We've spent a lot of time cooking up this meaty update. We listened to the communities feedback and refined what we believe to the be the best elements of the game while adding heft portions of new content. Including the much requested weapon inventory with manual weapon switch keys and ammo stacking, cloud saves, and saving during a level.

STRAFE®: Millennium Edition is a huge free update for STRAFE®, and it's here.

Also we've taken this chance to make the store page as clear as possible that STRAFE® is a roguelike. We have had this info in all of the tags/blurbs and descriptions but we are now also adding it into the new trailer (for people who don't read any of this stuff) and beating it to death in the store description.

Enjoy the update! Thom & Stephen
